I found an interesting message in the Whatsapp App of my mobile phone. It informed that one can video-call for free by tapping on a 'Whatsapp' web-link given down in the message. But that link directed to a website. I closed that website page as I had been already warned of such websites. Then in a few minutes I received a call from a friend in Dubai who by this calling checked video-calling using that web-link! But there was no video display of my friend on my phone. I warned the disgusted friend about such websites, and to desist from using them. Then I entered the URL (web address) found in that Whatsapp message in my computer browser. Only a warning was displayed as 'Reported Web Forgery!' On the computer, that fake website was blocked! Whether it is a faking or a hacking or a spying or a mocking website or not, it has some motive behind it to deceive us. So, beware of such websites and their directing web-links in the Whatsapp messages of phones. Delete the messages containing them.
